Pagudpod and Vigan
At 9 AM the following morning, we made our way to Kaibigan falls. The supposed 30-minute trek became an hour because of all the stops we made along the way to take pictures.
It was already 10:30 AM when we reached the falls. The water was like melted ice so no one attempted to take a dip in the pool. All we did was pose for pictures...

Later in the afternoon, we went to Blue Lagoon beach. The water was more inviting this time, but then, time was not on our side. Everyone wanted to catch the Bangui windmills before it gets dark. So, after lunch, we went back to the hotel in Saud beach to check-out.

At 4 PM, we left Pagudpod - I found it funny that we traveled all the way here, the Boracay of the north, but did not even try the beach. We reached the Bangui windmills before 5 PM and stayed there until the sun set.

We then made our way to the last city of our 4-day trip - Vigan. We had our dinner at Macy's Diner - a Hollywood-inspired restaurant - complete with posters of Hollywood classics and a vintage jukebox machine.
It was already past 9 PM when we reached Grandpa's Inn, a one-of-a-kind hotel in Vigan. Everything in the hotel is vintage (or feels vintage) - the piano in the corner (which surprisingly works), the yellowed photos in the frames, the antique furniture and memorabilia. While it looks really unique and charming, you won't find me wandering alone this hotel at night (it's creepy!).

Before calling it a night (it was a long day after all), we just had to go to Calle Crisologo for some photo-op. We knew the houses built during the Spanish-era would look majestic under the glow of orange lamps in the night sky. We were not wrong.
